I know a lot of people have good intentions, but it feels like Twitter-isms are slipping in with the number of screengrabs and links to racism, transphobia, and the like. Everyone's free to do what they want, but I hope we can go back to silencing jackasses by not giving them oxygen/attention.
Just saying, I am glad to hear people's own non-bigoted takes about Coates & Harris, but after that one loser who was calling Haitians the N-word was all over my timeline, it was still amplifying racism. I can't speak for other marginalized folks, but it's part of why I left Twitter personally.
not being hyperaware of transphobia constantly is quite pleasant, i don't want this to become like that the way twitter did. it's good to have genuine discussions but dunking on weirdos isn't worth it
People who do this get muted. I ain't putting up with quote dunks, it's unnecessary and I don't want it around me.
